Can I have a moment of your time?
It sounds like you might be robbed. Someone’s going to take something from you. They can never give it back.
It’s an expression that carries a surprising amount of weight.
In reality, many conversations are draining. They do feel like they’ve taken something from us in the form of attention or energy.
But some conversations are different. Some conversations are amplifying. They give you energy and joy. You walk away with a skip in your step and hope for the future.
Instead of taking people’s time, let’s amplify it. We’ll all be better off.
